Gazania?

[Tom]

Is this Gazania? It came with the house and I want to be sure.

 

[Yvonne G]

Yes, and it grows in Africa and is a staple diet for tortoises there.

Yes it is! My neighbor grows them and Mortimer really liked them...I think the ssp is daylight or daybreak...something like that! Aladar will eat them on occasion, but not enough to make me lant them at this point.

Really??????Are they okay for CDTs too???? I thought I saw them on a NO NO list......I love Gazanias, they grow well in bad dirt with very little water

They are definitely not on the NO! NO! list...they are South African, but I don't see them being a problem for CDTs

Hey Tom...Aladar went off on the gazania my neighbor gave me...first time in three attempts...now I'm gonna start growing it...might be a little late in the season...I'll start next spring...unless somebody in the forum has other advice.
